Winner take all of what you was fight:ng about. * * ♦ 22NI) BURDETTE ST.— You will hear a lot of argument from now on about the first and second team of the selected All Stars Teams, Pro and Con. I can’t see to save my dear life why they left Freddie Harris off the first team. Why, Freddie, is the most valuable player on the 22nd Burdette St. Ball Diamond. He plays all positions well, re gardless of where you put him. Maybe Fred hasn’t got enough friends. Willie Ware, the leading hitter of the league left off of both teals. My goodiess! There is lots of players on the second team that should be on the first team and some players on the first that should be playing with the Girl’s league. Well you got to have a pull and lots of friends to get anywhere in this man’s world. So that is life. Now they pick the All Stars. Now I am going to pick mine. Listen closely and draw up | your chairs close why I tell you all about thetp. Here is my bonfble list and nobody hunch me or nudge me, so here I start. We must have a manager, so I am selecting James J. Jewell Mgr. A1 Brewer IB Wallace Ritchie . 2B Big Fred Davis SS Curtis Small Evans 3B Frank the Barber . SC Pitty Pat Sam LF Bill Jones .!. RF Arkansaw Frank .CF Mose Ranson . P Bailey the Barber. C MoGee, the Barber P Lem Oliver the p:ano player Umpire To funs that is my all star team. Bring on the HSS and the CCCC. I will bet all the dust on North 24th street against the tumble weeds oi 24th and Grant Street,, shut them out, because my players are in condition from hearing about the plays that didn’t work on 22nd and Burdette St., every game played on 22nd street is played over at the Famous Tuxe do after 9:30 PM. If we hadn’t d:d this or did that we wpuld have won. So drop in some nights and listen to the ball game. The same as 22nd St. Free peanuts and pop corn for sale. But no girls. * * * CASH COAL LOSE 5 TO 3— Florence Merchants beat the coni boys againt, I<efty Davis let the Merchants down with 4 hits but walked 8 and hit one. But mis plays caused him to lose after the first inning until the 9th the op ponets only got one fluke hit. The umpire gave some awful bad deci sions on balls and strike causing the pitcher to work awful hard and put men on base that should have been out. Now the regular season is over the Coal boys are going to try their luck in Council Bluffs Sunday in the Legion Tour nament. Lets all go over and give them a great big hand. FIRST TEAM Pos.

We like it here and its durability and for its compliment ing any complexion. Sheared Beavers makes the sleeves and Peter Pan color on th\s very youthful gray wool coat. There is an extreme left closing in this model, which is made on the princess lines for flattery. The hat suggests the Beaver trim, in brown velours, with a postillion crown and pom pom to maSce it definitely 1940. Shades of the nineties in the bustle dress which is fashion!} favorite again are really smart. This version in trown wool had leg-o-mutton sleeves and bustle in the brown moire. There is a back closing with tiny buttons and a buckle to match, so you can leaves the bustle off whenever you like. AS YOU PLEASE, MADAME. SECOND TEAM Pos. Name Votes Team IB P. West 11 Wood 25 F.

I I “Between the Lines” IS/-- " EXHIBIT NUMBER ONE The war that is pend:ng through out the world will without doubt break the heart of mankind! In brutality and deadliness and suf fering the World War will be merely a skirmish and introduc tion. If Euroope accedes to the demands of Hitler, it wMl mean the economic and moral enslave ment of imillions; and if Europe does not accede, there is every reason to except deadly and de vastating war in the near future. In any event England is to be blamed. Her jittery statesman ship of 1938-39 is but the reaping of a harvest that was sown in selfishness and greed these 20 years since the treaty of Versail les. England was so bent on its program of world hegemony that it sacrificed everybody and every thing that stood in its way. France knew from bitter experience that Germany had to be kept in a state of subjugation, if the peace and safety of Europe was to be pie served. France faced the ugly facts of history. England tried in the interest of its territorial, and eco nomic hegemony to be idealistic and failed to note the signs of the times, with the result Germany has come back and taken the lead in the affairs of the world. I repeat what I said upon my return from Germany last summer that the only way to keep Ger many from conquering Europe is to conquer its territory and par titions it among the other nations. There is no nation of combination of nations that can accomplish this today. The i-ssult Germany is bidding for the supremacy not only of Europe but the world. If England had faced the facts and like France had; prepared, the world would be spared the orgy of death and suffering that is immediately in the offering. To make matters worse our politicians are inviting disaster to Europe and eventually to this country by as cheap and vacillat ing shortsightedness as was ever displayed by intelligent men. With . y^, our resources at the command of England and France they have a chance; but without these Ger many’s success is sure. Just a vote in the right direction would save the situation in Europe but alas! .When we boys hunted rabbits on the plantations of South Carolina, we had dogs that could run what we called “slight-lick” meaning running with the rabbit in sight but once the rabbit was out of sight they left the trail. It seems that most of the politicians in Washington who are throttling Roosevelt’s wise and sagacious statesmanship are “sight-lick” fel lows and cannot see very far into the future. England’s vaunted dip lomacy has recently been “sight lick” and they are lost before the long range thinking and planning of the Germans. Negroes must learn the danger that lurks in “sight-lick” thinking on our conditions. What is our immediate advantage must be sub ordinated to the advantage of the group and the oncoming genera tions. The world’s EXHIBIT NUMBER ONE in a long range thinking on the problems of Ne groes is found theve in Richmond. W. A. Jordan moving figure in the Southern Aid Society, made one of the finest gestures of Ne gro leadership within recent times. When Miss Black was dis missed from the school system of Norfolk because she tried through legal means to get equal salary for equal work, Mr. Jordan in structed his Norfolk branch to of fer Miss Black a position with the Southern Aid Society is the er omplification of the “Double-Duty Dollar” philosophy at its best. But more than that, it shows how the dollar may be made to do triple duty. When Negroes insure with the Southern Aid they get pro tection, as duty number one; they make jobs, for Negroes, as duty number two and they protect Ne gro womanhood, as duty number three. The dollar spent thus be comes a potent factor in Negro advance. If Negroes would support Ne Q't and A's 1. What do these names suggest: ; K*g’s (or Queen's) Bench, ! Newgate, Fleet, Tower and .

The nation owes Mr. Jor dan a debt of grat'tude for coming to Miss Black’s rescue; for in res cuing her a service is being ren dered the face. Whether Miss Black elects to return to school for further training or to take a position with the Southern Aid, does not matter, it will certainly steel her heart to know that so powerful an organization is behind her. But every Negro insuring with Negro companies is behind Miss Bla^k and if Negroes \*ould give Negro insurance companies and Negro business the support it demands, places could be provided for a thousand young women of Miss Black’s courage and woman hood. Every spender of double duty dollars should feel elated J -OO0-r— JOBLESS CLAIMS PAYS TWO WAYS In speaking before a co-opera tive club Wednesday Aug. 17, Her man Coreman said that unemploy ment claims paid to workers by the state d’d not only help the individual but it also helped the community. He said in some loca lity that as much as 90 pf the claims were cashed in grocery stores. Since the firlst of the year claims totaling one million dol lars, half of which had been re ceived by Omaihans have been paid by Nebraska. Mr. Coreman is Claims Deputy of the Nebras ka State Unemployment Compen sation Division. -oOo Looking for Wife Young man by the name of Ar thur Curtis is looking for a wife.
